Excerpt from another obituary:
"Ralph BeBeau was an entertainer. "Music involved Dad's entire
life," said his daughter, Pamela Oettel. His band and his disc jockey
gig were his passions for many years. His sequined suit, cowboy boots
and large belt buckles were part of his persona. He was known as the
Singing DJ to his radio audience. BeBeau died May 28 of liver cancer.
He was 75.
He was heavily involved with music from the 1960s
to the `80s. When he became a radio DJ, he worked for country stations
KANO in Anoka, KRBI in St. Peter, WMIN in St. Paul and KTCR in
Minneapolis. He also played guitar and bass and sang with his band, the
Nite Riders.
The Nite Riders appeared in VFW and American Legion halls and bars across the Twin Cities area."

I couldn't find any info about any 601 bar. Must have been a roadside joint that Dudley stopped at during his truck driving days. Ralph's last name is mispelled here. Correct spelling was Bebeau. Born in 1930, died in 2005.

About Me

Transferring forgotten records into digital format. I especially seek music unavailable on cd, and do my best to post music unavailable elsewhere on the internet. If someone else has posted music, you probably won't see it repeated here unless my audio transfer is superior to theirs.
